Beth Israel is committed to teaching Judaism as a living religion. Our sacred texts and lessons still speak to us today in the modern world and have the potential to enlighten every facet of our daily lives. Lifelong learning is a central tenet of Judaism and we are thrilled to offer you various courses which we hope will pique your interest. May your participation in one or multiple courses continue to either nurture your commitment to the Jewish community or bring you closer to this beautiful tradition. You are encouraged to register ahead of time in order that we may provide appropriate materials and to ensure that a class will not be cancelled. Whether you are a veteran adult ed student or a newcomer, we look forward to engaging with you in Torah and the Jewish tradition and making new friends in the process.

— Rabbi Joshua Samuels
